Things I have started to say:
"air con" (in lieu of A/C)
"holiday" (instead of vacation)
Things I've been thisclose to saying:
"bloody" (as in "really" or "very")
With only 4 days before I'm back in NYC, I feel the need to put this out there...because chances are I'm going to let one of these slip and you're going to give me hell for it.
I asked a coworker in HK, a local girl who speaks English really well, to please "turn on the AC". After she asked what that was and I told her, she replied sarcastically "Wow! Aren't YOU cool 'AC'!" ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell, now I can't stop saying "air con". Think New Yorkers think I'm trying to be cool, but I can't stop myself from saying it now (and it's been 6 months since we were in HK!)
